Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
This chicken cordon bleu casserole is the easier version of a traditional chicken cordon blue. What's also great is that you can cook it in a crockpot!
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts fresh or frozen
- 12 slices swiss cheese
- 12 slices thin deli ham
- ⅓ cup chicken stock or chicken broth
- 1 can cream of chicken
- 1 box stove top for chicken stuffing mix
Instructions
Directions:
-
Place your chicken breasts into your crockpot first. You can use fresh or frozen!
Then you will place 6 slices of swiss cheese on top of the chicken. Then you will place the 12 slices of thin deli ham on top of the swiss cheese.
-
You will then add the remaining 6 slices of swiss cheese on top of the ham. You can really never have enough cheese!
-
Then, in a medium bowl, combine the chicken stock or chicken broth and the cream of chicken. Mix until uniform in consistency. Then pour this over your chicken-cheese-ham. It will mostly run off into the bottom of the crockpot, but that's okay!
-
Then, pour the entire box of stuffing on top. This will act as the bread crumb that chicken cordon bleu is so famous for.
-
Finally, pour the melted butter evenly over the stuffing. Put the lid back on and cook on high for 4-6 hours or on low for 6-8 hours.
Recipe Notes
Notes:
When using frozen chicken, I would reccommmend waiting until the 6 hours on high or 8 hours on low to ensure that the chicken is cooked thoroughly. Always double check with a meat thermometer, as it should read at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit when you test the chicken.
